A Mollusk Capable of Purifying the Corners of Your Aquarium

The Astrea Snail is an essential cleaner for any marine aquarium. It primarily feeds on algae growing on the glass, substrate, and live rocks. This allows coralline algae to develop on the live rocks. Being relatively small in size, it can reach all the corners of the aquarium.

Lithopoma sp – Robust Algae-Eating Snail for Reef Aquariums

Lithopoma sp is a marine snail with a massive body and a thick, spiral shell, often adorned with characteristic ridges and striations. This gastropod, native to subtropical and tropical reef areas, is highly valued in aquariums for its algae-grazing abilities.

An Ideal Snail Against Algae

Active both day and night, Lithopoma sp effectively consumes algae encrusted on live rocks, decorations, and the substrate. It thus helps to maintain a healthy biological balance and limit algae proliferation in marine aquariums.

Its diet, mainly consisting of algae, makes it harmless to corals, which makes it compatible with reef tanks. It's an excellent companion for other detritivores, provided it's not paired with too large a population of hermit crabs that might attack its shell.

Maintenance Conditions

  • Minimum recommended volume: 100 liters
  • Temperature: 24°C to 27°C
  • pH: 8.0 to 8.4
  • Decor: sandy or mixed substrate, live rocks for grazing
  • Compatibility: very good with peaceful fish, corals, and invertebrates

Acclimation Tips

Like all marine gastropods, slow drip acclimation is highly recommended. Be careful not to remove Lithopoma sp from the water with its operculum facing down, as an air bubble in the shell could cause its death. It is also advisable to place it gently on a stable surface.

Why Choose Lithopoma sp?

  • Effective and natural algae-eater
  • Decorative and robust shell
  • Compatible with reef tanks
  • Active both day and night
  • Easy to maintain and acclimate

Lithopoma sp is a reliable and useful marine snail for the maintenance of your reef aquarium. Its robustness, appetite for algae, and peaceful behavior make it a valuable ally for a healthy and aesthetic tank.
